Ontario Dentist Seeks Kidney Donor for Son with End-Stage Renal Disease

Posted: September 8, 2025
Julian Martino, a 25-year-old hemodialysis nurse diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, urgently needs a kidney transplant. His father, Dr. Pat Martino, a Brampton-based dentist, is seeking a living donor match as neither he nor his wife can donate due to medical conditions. The University Health Network in Toronto has advised sharing Julian's story to find a suitable donor. The Ajmera Transplant Centre at Toronto General Hospital, Canada's largest organ transplant program, has performed over 700 transplants in 2024. Interested donors can contact the UHN's Living Donor Program or email Dr. Martino for more information.
